Game Boy PocketPrinters Temporarily On Sale Again

Posted by Joel Johnson, March 3, 2008 6:44 AM | permalink

To add to the unintentionally nostalgic tone I'm pouring out today (and there's more coming!) Play-Asia.com has unearthed a cache of Game Boy PocketPrinters. Each thermal-printing tubercle sells for just $9, but shipping will almost double the price. Then all you'll need is a Game Boy with print-capable software, a few rolls of thermal paper, and the desire to print extremely low-resolution images that quickly fade to black in the harsh light of the sun, not unlike your rapidly vanishing memories of youth.

What a discovery!

With that old Gameboy you have laying around and the right software for it you could print receipts, or, or, or uh...Print...umm...other...other stuff.
You could print other stuff, sure!

It's great!

Gone :(

Ah well, I can always hook up the Game Boy Player to the PC via the Gamecube AV cables and my Gamebridge to print out my GB Camera photos.

I still have my Gameboy Camera AND the Printer around with extra rolls of paper! The paper is actually a sticker you can peel off and stick anywhere.
